Soaked I got up and started to pack up. EVERYTHING was soaked. Although my tent had maintained its waterproofing, a lot of stuff stays outside the tent to give me more space. The tent has a couple of vestibules, but they didn’t stay dry. Neither did the floor of the tent. And, everything I touched […]

Heart Lake and hot springs
Heart Lake Heart Lake campground was okay, but there was no water available. I had to get it from the lake. It doesn’t sound too bad, however there was only one campsite that had access to the lake and it wasn’t mine. Fortunately, a couple of nice guys from eastern Canada had it and told

Cold and BEARS!
Wet and cold It had rained during the night at Mt. Robson Park, but a sliver of sun came out in the morning. Of course everything was soaked as I packed it up, but I was hoping for something drier ahead, so I got to work packing and loading up the bike. It always seems

Getting ready
Good day, my wonderful friends! It has been a minute since I’ve chatted to you. I hope everyone is well and happy. Planning I’ve been getting up to planning my next trip, Alaska. The plan last year, after I finished motobiking around the lower 48, was to head to Alaska in July of this year.
What’s next
What’s next Now that I’ve been to every continental state and Hawaii, Alaska is the only thing left for me in the United States. For the last few months I’ve been studying roads and ways to get to Alaska, COVID restrictions, potential roads in Alaska, camping areas, places to see, so much information! While I’ve
A heavenly couple of days
FINALLY! My family finally arrived to the hotel at about 2330 and I was thrilled! I was so excited to be back with them, I barely slept, though they were exhausted from their day of travel. Sometimes I can have a bit too much energy. Through some strange twist of fate, though we were there

To Michigan!
That damn garage It took me a while to make 3 trips to Lucille with my gear. The garage was down the block, and around the corner, and I was carrying all my stuff. Funny story. I forgot that I had set the alarm on Lucille. Truthfully, it had never gone off, so I assumed
Another change in plans
Another new plan When it got to be 1930 and I still hadn’t heard that I could stay with my friend from work the next day, I started looking to see where else I could go to escape the bad weather. I initially thought I’d go to Niagara Falls, stay with my friend that didn’t
